Caroline Spelman MP, Meriden voted against requiring the support of the UN Security Council and the support of a vote of MPs in the House of Commons before the commitment of UK forces to military action in Iraq.

believes that any decision that Iraq is in material breach of Resolution 1441 is for the UN Security Council as a whole to determine and that no military action to enforce Resolution 1441 should be taken against Iraq without a mandate from the UN Security Council; and

further believes that no British forces should be committed to any such military action against Iraq without a debate in this House and a substantive motion in favour.
